Insider Tip:

Before your kids get their hearts set on a particular ride, be sure to check with the NASCAR SpeedPark manager to confirm the height restrictions for each one. For safety purposes, many rides require kids to be at least 36 inches, and the go-kart tracks require kids to be at least 16 years old to ride alone.
